BY plowing under crop when it

Iron is an important part of the
blood, giving it its red color, but this
does no necessitate taking solution of

has been removed seeds will germi-

1t is impossible to know whether
you have made profit unless accounts
are kept. Charge the hens with all
the food allowed, and also interest on
capital invested. Credit them with all
sales and for that used in the family.
The difference will be the profit, unless
you wish to charge for your labor, the
value of which depends upon how much
it was worth to you at the time. A
large flock costs less for labor than
smaller one, but in families where
small flocks are kept for pleasure as
well as profit the laboris not estimated.

| Edward Tinnn, tho FIRST Governor OF Ohio
after the organization OF tho State, is buried al
| Chillcothc, and tho important years Of his life
were spent thoro. Colonel VIM. Gilmore, the
postmaster at Chilllcothe, is descendant OF
Governor Trims, and is preparing n sketch oi
him for publication, from which have con.
densod some salient facts.
Edward Tifin was born In Carlisle, Eng, In
1860. He was givon some early advantages In
the way OF education, by an uncle, for whom
he was named, and had taken partial course
in medicine, when no sailed for this country
In his nineteenth year. He attended medical
lectures in Philadelphia for time and then
went 10 Charleston, Va, to practice his profess
sion. He was successful In tho practice OF med
icine, and had much besides o good profossion-
al training to recommend him. He was q
young man OF elegant figure and address, bless.
cd with q fino flow OF buoyant spirits. He speed
lily became n social favorite, and in 1850 mar
riod Mary Worthington. daughter OF Colonel
Robert Worthington, and sister OF Thomas
Worthngton, who in 1874, was elected Cover
nor OF Ohio.
In 1906 DR. THIN was attracted TO the Norin-
west Territory, and accompanied by two men,
who, like himself, wcro TO become Governors
OF the new State-Lucas and worthington-ho
set his slaves free and moved to Chillicothe.
His slaves were so much attached TO their old
master that they insisted upon following him to
his new home.
Dr. THIN at once set about to establish him
self permanently. He bought four acres of
ground in the town and built the first shingle
rooted house in Chillicothe.
He resumed the practice Of his profession,
and II was no slight task in those days TO be
country physician before roads were made and
before the country was rid OF Indians and dan.
gorous wild animals The work OF physician
was difficult and his patients were often unable
10 pay him for his services.
In 1870 THIN, Worthington, Findlay and
LnnRham were chosen to represent Ross County
in the Territorial Legislature, convened on tho
18th of September, 100, at Cincinnati. DIR.
Trims ability was recognized In this body, and
he was chosen Speaker without opposition, and
the position was retained by him while the
Territorial Government lasted.
DR.. THIN was n vigorous impassioned speak
or, and frequently took an active part in the
carly debates. In 1902 DIR. Tifin was sent, with
Worthington and Massie, to represent Ross
County in the Convention called to frame n
constitution for Ohio, and he was made its pres
ident. His career ms presiding offcer of the
Constitutional Convention was so commendable,
his rulings so just and his judgment so sound
that he impressed himself with great strength
upon the delegates, and ut the conclusion OF the
convention was made its candidate for Gov
ernor, and elected in January, lsn3, without op-
position, receiving In nll 1865 votes.
Two years later he was unanimously re-
elected, receiving i,1S3 votes He declined TO
be candidate for third term.

tho timo from his private affairs he was elected
10 the Legislature from Ross County.
General Massio's stirring and useful life closed
on tho Sd day of November, 1918. Ho was
buried on his farm, but in June, 1870, his
remains and those OF his wife were removed TO
the beautiful Upland Cemetery, overlooking the
city OF Chllicothc, whore rest oil the illustrious
dead OF ohio's first capital.

The pioneers who came TO Chilicothe were from
Kentucky and Virginia. They cnmo In two
companies In tho spring OF 1900. When Colonel
Massie laid out the town OF Chilicothc ho gave
each OF the first settlers lot, and by the end OF
tho year 1906 about twenty cabins were erected
and within few months ferry across tho

some corn.moal with them, but after II was con-
sumed they had TO pound their corn in mortars,
and 1t was then mixed with bears oil and made
into kind of bread
Whisky played an important part In new
countries then now. When Chillicothe was
first laid out whisky was n scarce article and an
expensive one the price being four dollars and
fifty cents gallon. In the spring of 1I97, when
the kcelboats began to come up tho Scioto
river Mononguhola whisky was sent TO the
young colony In such quantities thnt the supply
exceeded the demand and tho price dropped TO
fifty cents gallon, and til community at once
took advantage OF the cheap whisky and discon-
tinued the general use of water us n beverage,
An observer who was living ut this time In Chill
lcothe writes: "Men, women and children, with
some exceptions, drank freely, and many who
had been respectable and temperate became in
cbriates Many of General Wayncs soldiers
and camp followers settled in the town. so that
for time IL became q town OF drunkards and
sink of corruption"
But this period of dopravity soon reached It's
lowest point revolution took place, n better
order ensued and crimes were suppressed and
offenders punished.
The story is told of man named Brannon,
who stole an overcoat, handkerchief and shirt
in the spring of 1897. He took his wife and fled
from the town with his loot, but was pursued,
brought back and tried. Samuel Smith was
made n judge for the occasion, a jury of twelve
was impaneled, attorneys for the defense and
prosecution appointal, and all the forms Of law
complied with. The jury found Brannon guiltya and
the judge sentenced him TO receive ten lashes
on the bare back, or to sit on his pony and have
his wife lead 1t to every house in the village pro-
claiming rs she walked; "This is Brannon, who
stole the grcat-coat handkerchief and shirt"
Rev. j. B. Finley, afterward Chaplain of the
Penitentiary was order to see that the sentence
was properly executed. Brannon shrank from
the lash, and was accordingly proclaimed u thief
at every door by his own wife.
Nearly all of the first settlers were members
or adherents of the Presbyterian Church. In
the fall Of l7D7 large log Westinghouse was
erected near the old graveyard, and Rev. VIII
liam Speer clergyman from Pennsylvania,
conducted its services. The sleepers were used
as seats for the congregation and q split log
served rs pulpit.
In 170s, after the families OF Colonel Worth
ington and DR.. THIN had arrived the first mar
riage ceremony IN the Scioto Valley was per-
formed. The brides name was Elizabeth Coch-
ran and her husband was George Kilgore. The
horses OF the wedding guests were tied to trees
in the street, which were not yet cleared, the
whole town being in the wilderness.
DR.. THIN and his wife were the first Metho-
dists that lived in the Scioto Valley.
In 1900 the scat of Territorial Government
was removed, by act of Congress, from Cincin-

ty, where he had a big tract OF excellent land.
In 1907 General Masse entered politics In an
active way, and was q candidate for Governor
His opponent was Return j. Meigs, jr. They
were both very popular men, and Meigs was
elected by small majority. General Massie
commenced the business OF contesting elections
which has since been SO popular in Ohio, by
claiming that Meigs was ineligible under the
constitution, by reason OF his temporary alb
sence from the State, the pretense being that
he had not lived in II long enough since his
return To become q citizen. The contest was
carried before the Legislature, and that re-
markable body decided that Colonel Meigs
was ineligible TO the ONCE and that General
Massie was duly elected Governor OF the State
ofOhio."
Massie wanted the once, and no doubt felt
that his distinguished services entitled him TO
II, but he would not accept It when his antago-
mist had majority OF the popular vote, SO with
the verdict OF the General Assembly as his sol
ace, ho declined 10 become Governor, and Meigs
WAS inaugurated.
After this event he maintained interest in

to make use of his services still, he was ap
pointed Surveyor General of the West, and he
was permitted to divide his ofiice time between
Cincinnati and Chillicothe. pr. THIN was sue
ceeded In this oillce by General WIN. Lytle, to
whom he surrendered his oalcial effects few
weeks before his death.
Dr. THIN was provident man OF business
and his accounts were accurate and honest
Not cent OF the great sums OF money that
passed through his hands was improperly spent
Governor Tifin left wife and live children
In very comfortable circumstances. Mrs. Tinin

college, chose his fathers profession, and went
TO Paris TO attend me dical lectures, but was
killed on his journey homeward In railroad ac-

hills Tecumseh, the famous Indian chief, was
once guest there, and left his tomahawk as o
souvenir. 1t can be seen at this day.
Duncan Macarthur, the eighth Governor Of
Ohio, was one of the stern strong, rugged char.
acters OF the early days OF this State. He was
the third Governor elected from Chillcothe, and
is one of the quartet of Ohio Governors buried
there.
Duncan Macarthur was from the East, having
been born in Dutchess County, N Y, in 1772.
Early in life his parents removed to q home In
the wilds OF Western Pennsylvania, and his op.
portunity for educational advantages was ex.
ceedingly slight At the age of eighteen young
Macarthur enlisted under General Harmar, to
fight the Indians upon the Upper Ohio. He
underwent severe hardships in the campaign,
but in l7a2 he enlisted again, and ut the battle
OF Captina, in what is now Belmont County,
he bore leading part. The commander Of
his company having been killed. though the
youngest man in command, Macarthur
conducted himself as bravely and SO wisely
that he quite captured the fancies Of
the hardy frontiersmen. When his term
of military service closed, the Governor that
was to be hired himselft to salt maker ut Mays.
vile, Ky. And later he became chain bearer
under General Massic, when he surveyed the
valley OF the Scioto.
In 1905 Captain Macarthur was elected 10 the
Legislature, and his record In that body was o
cerditable one. He took high rank in the mill.
tary organization of the State, and In 1873
accompanied General Hull to Detroit, becoming
second in command in the expedition. Shortly
before the close OF the war Macarthur was
elected TO Congress- on the Democratic ticket
by large majority He resigned his seat
however, TO take the commission OF Brigadier
General under Harrison and he succeeded him
in the command of tho Northwestern army
He proved to be an able military leader, and
defeated the British with great loss TO them at
the battle OF Malcom's Mills. When the war
ended General Macarthur retired TO his Chilli
cothc estate, but was Immediately made Com
missioner TO the Indians at Detroit, Fort Meigs
and St. Marys by appointment of the Presi
dent, and was engaged in the service for three
years
In 1872 General Macarthur was again elected
to Congress, and he served one term declining
q reelection in order that he might devote him
self to private affairs as he had large business
interests that demanded his attention. Dun
can Macarthur accumulated great deal OF
property, and was engaged In the iron business,
milling and real estate.
In 1880 he was elected Governor OF Ohio. His
administration was quiet one, and when his
term OF ONCE expired no retired permanently
